Follow up: It must be 100% compatible with MSDOS7. For example FreeDOS does not meet that requirement (as stated on Wikipedia): Windows 95 <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_95>, Windows 98 <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_98>; and Windows Me <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Me>; use a stripped-down version of MS-DOS. FreeDOS cannot be used as a replacement because of undocumented interfaces between MS-DOS 7.0-8.0 and Windows "4.xx" are not emulated by FreeDOS; however, it can be installed and used beside these systems using a boot manager program, such as BOOTMGR or METAKERN included with FreeDOS.
